BBC's Match Of The Day host Gary Lineker to be ‘spoken to’ after fans call for him to be sacked over political tweet
Gary Lineker will reportedly be given a talking-to by the BBC following a social media post in which he appeared to compare Home Office policy to Nazi Germany.
Gary responded: “There is no huge influx. We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries. A BBC source told The Daily Telegraph: “Gary will be spoken to and reminded of his responsibilities on social media.”“Individuals who work for us are aware of their responsibilities relating to social media. We have appropriate internal processes in place if required.”Last summer, the BBC personality was hit with backlash for his now deleted tweet about the England Women’s team in the Euro 2022 final.
After receiving criticism for his tweet, the former footballer promptly deleted it, but soon decided to call out those who sent backlash his way.
